Black and Grey Tattoos

Black and grey tattoos are a cornerstone of timeless tattooing, and at Bad Fun Company, this style is treated as both an art form and a craft. Clients throughout Youngsville, Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Wake Forest, Apex, and the greater Raleigh Triangle Area come in seeking black and grey tattoos for their versatility, longevity, and ability to capture detail without relying on color. This style excels in realism, portrait work, illustrative designs, and custom compositions that depend on contrast and smooth transitions. Every black and grey tattoo is built through layered shading, intentional linework, and careful attention to light and texture. Whether the design is soft and subtle or bold and dramatic, the goal is always balance. The artists focus on how the tattoo flows with the body and how it will settle into the skin over time. Bad Fun Company is known for blending black and grey techniques with a wide range of influences, including fine line work, traditional foundations, Japanese elements, anime-inspired designs, and large-scale custom pieces. This flexibility allows each tattoo to feel unique while maintaining clarity and structure. From small tattoos with delicate shading to large statement pieces that tell a story, black and grey tattoos here are designed to age gracefully and remain visually strong for years.
